Session 5 troubleshooting

I'm running the code as shown in session 5 but getting the follow error - any ideas?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ValueError Traceback (most recent call last)

in __init__(self, width, height)

20 agent_id = 0
---> 21 for (x,y) in self.grid.coord_iter():
22 max_sugar = sugar_distribution[x,y]
23 if max_sugar > 0:

ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

I've not figured out the error:
for _,(x,y) in self.grid.coord_iter():

needs the brackets around (x,y) removed to become:
for _,x,y in self.grid.coord_iter():

I have forked the session 5 on GitHub and suggested the change

Duplication of position warning

Hi there,
I am getting this error when I run the code from step 7.
"""
self.grid.place_agent(trader, (x,y))
:83: UserWarning: Agent 4139 is being placed with
place_agent() despite already having the position (30, 30). In most
cases, you'd want to clear the current position with remove_agent()
before placing the agent again.
"""

It seems to happen with the code from the github as well. Any ideas?
